Lucile Elaine (Elliff) Weed was born on August 3, 1937, in Anderson Missouri to Luther and Eva Elliff. She passed away peacefully at the age of 86 on May 8, 2024. Elaine moved to Harlingen, TX at the age of 7 and graduated from Harlingen High School. Elaine attended college at Texas A&I in Kings-ville where she earned a bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. She always spoke fondly of her college years and the lifelong friends she made while there. She had a special group of ladies that she kept in touch with and met for reunions every year for 50 + years.
Following college graduation, she moved to Corpus Christi and taught school for 6 years before moving back to Harlingen and starting her family.
Elaine was very active in Calvary Baptist Church of Harlingen, teaching Sunday School and Bible School. She was also one of the founders of Calvary Christian School and served as the principal for 2 years. She was always very proud to be a part of starting the school.
In 1979 Elaine and family moved to Marble Falls, TX where she continued her teaching career and taught at Marble Falls Elementary for 16 years. She left a lasting impression on many students before retiring in 1998.
After retiring Elaine spent 10 years traveling with The Bluebonnet Club to many places including Europe, Australia, Canada, Mexico, Ireland, Panama Canal and Alas-ka. She loved cruising and visiting all the beautiful places and being with very special friends.
Elaine was a member of the Delta Zeta sorority for 59 years. Delta Zeta serves numerous philanthropic organizations throughout the state of Texas, as well as internationally and is one of St. Jude’s biggest supporters. She served as Chapter President, District President and was also named as Outstanding Chapter Member more than once.
Elaine was strong in her faith and was a member of First Baptist Church and the Martha Class for 41 years. She loved the Lord and her church family.
After it became difficult for her to attend in person, she loved to watch Sunday morning service on-line. On Sundays after church, you could find her cheering on her Dallas Cowboys.
Elaine’s greatest joy was her family. She was the best mom and Nana to her 3 daughters, 9 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren. She loved spending time with her family, from birthdays to holidays and family vacations, she never missed an event. She was known as Nana and adored by many, not just her family. She will have a special place in our hearts forever. She always put everyone else before herself and was kind and loving to all that she knew.
